Eastern (Dagestan) Tur Hosted Hunt Azerbaijan July 2018

July 25- August 4, 2018

Join Jason Price on one of the most exciting and affordable mountain hunts to be found anywhere in the world as you pursue eastern Tur in Azerbaijan.

The Dagestan Tur is one of the most beautiful mountain animals on earth. The Dagestan or East Caucasian Tur, with its massive body and horns, is a unique trophy and one of the most sought after for mountain hunters. It is larger than the Kuban Tur from the West Caucasus, both in body and trophy size. Anyone who wants to hunt for Tur once, and only once, will usually hunt for the Dagestan Tur. The Republic of Azerbaijan, in the south-eastern Caucasus, is today a synonym for the largest Tur in the world. Only here in the Far East of the Caucasus lives the pure Dagestan Tur. Its massive horns are similar in curl to the Spanish Ibex, with a wide spread but without knobs. In the Central Caucasus where there is no pure Dagestan Tur, you will find only mediocre trophies with 70-80 cm of horn length. But in our top-class areas in the Eastern Caucasus, in Azerbaijan, even average trophies have a horn-length of 80-90 cm and strong ones may surpass 100 cm. You will hunt at an altitude of 8,000 to 10,000 feet for high-class trophies. You will hunt surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the Caucasus, as these are some of the most beautiful mountains in the world. This is a tough mountain hunt that requires good fitness. From the base camps, the hunters ascend to the peak region on foot or by horse. This is a must-do hunt if international or mountain hunting is your passion.
